Gadsden City tops Huffman, improves to 3-1

BIRMINGHAM — Gadsden City hit the road for the third time in four weeks Friday and defeated Huffman 25-12 for a Class 6A, Region 7 win.

The Titans (3-1, 2-1) put up big offensive numbers in the win, outgaining Huffman (1-3, 0-3) 435-227 in the win.

Gadsden City’s Trevor Sandridge set the tone early, carrying the first three plays of the game for 76 yards. But after an illegal procedure against Titans stalled the drive, Paul Gilley nailed a 30-yard field goal to give Gadsden City a 3-0 advantage.

A 5-yard touchdown pass from quarterback LaDarius Boyd to Carlos Davis at the 4:34 mark of the first quarter gave the Vikings a 6-3 lead, as the point after was blocked.

The Titans took the lead for good at the beginning of the second quarter, as C.J. Moore found LeGerald Mallone on a 20-yard touchdown strike for a 10-6 lead.

Brandon Sumpter’s interception set up the drive.

Gadsden City’s Joseph Benford scored on a 3-yard touchdown run to push Gadsden City’s advantage to 16-6 midway through the second quarter.

Huffman struck back though, as with just 17 seconds left in the first half, Devin Huntley muffed a punt deep in Titan territory.

Huffman recovered, leading to a 1-yard touchdown run by Carlos Davis.

Albert Johnson provided the Titans final score with 9:38 remaining in the game on a 3-yard touchdown run. He also caught the 2-point conversion pass from Moore, which would make the final score.
